But with opportunity comes responsibility. Companies today aren't managing their knowledge workers careers. Instead, you must be your own chief executive officer. That means it's up to you to carve out your place in the world and know when to change course. And it's up to you to keep yourself engaged and productive during a career that may span some 50 years. In Managing Oneself , Peter Drucker explains how to do it. The keys: Cultivate a deep understanding of yourself by identifying your most valuable strengths and most dangerous weaknesses; Articulate how you learn and work with others and what your most deeply held values are; and Describe the type of work environment where you can make the greatest contribution. Only when you operate with a combination of your strengths and self-knowledge can you achieve true and lasting excellence. Managing Oneself identifies the probing questions you need to ask to gain the insights essential for taking charge of your career. Peter Drucker was a writer, teacher, and consultant. His 34 books have been published in more than 70 languages. He founded the Peter F. Drucker Foundation for Nonprofit Management, and counseled 13 governments, public services institutions, and major corporations. Review: Worth reading and remembering - The book is short and concise. It does not go into long winded stories but rather gives short examples straight to the point. It starts off with a simple yet powerful idea that we must build upon our strength. But in order to understand where our strength lies we must first understand how we operate. Key questions to ask ourselves on how we operate are: -How do we learn? -What are our values? -What are the best environments we efficiently perform at? -and of course knowing where we think we might belong? To achieve this the author describes an exercise called the feedback loop where we predict how far we will go and assess how well we fit this prediction to expose our weaknesses and strength. Once we have discovered our strength we must double down on it and minimize the time to improve our weaknesses. It is better to go from good to excellent instead of incompetent to mediocre. Finally the author mentions that as we become excellent in our job we might not have any challenges and this can make life less exciting, so we can try seeking for a different field to master once we are older. Absolutely loved the book. Review: sober, thought provoking and practical - This book is quite brief and more focused on one philosophical point than air how to or step by step book. However, I personally find the Sober yet direct tone of this book very refreshing in the world of business books that are overhyped. In a way the very absence of a 10 step plan to success and a realistic view of big business life is actually its strength. When it comes from an author who has been a management consultant for many decades and has had a business like that spanned the great depression right into the 70s and 80s, it is worth reading. ## Features - New - Mint Condition - Dispatch same day for order received before 12 noon - Guaranteed packaging - No quibbles returns ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 124,657 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 170 in Business Life (Books) 179 in Business Careers (Books) 6,793 in Health, Family & Lifestyle Self Help | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 7,647 Reviews | ## Images ![Managing Oneself (Harvard Business Review Classics) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71ks2v1ByML.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth reading and remembering *by P***P on 4 November 2015* The book is short and concise.

I might be biased as I know that Peter Ducker is a reference when it comes to Business matters but I really recommend this book. The book give you a few interesting questions to ask yourself to ensure you are functioning at your best. It is a short read so even if you have a busy life, those 30 minutes should be a good investment of your time . ## Frequently Bought Together - Managing Oneself (Harvard Business Review Classics) - Shut Up and Listen!: Hard Business Truths that Will Help You Succeed --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/48520000-managing-oneself-harvard-business-review-classics](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/48520000-managing-oneself-harvard-business-review-classics) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-10-25*
